    You would need some sort of software driver to use that ADB joystick
on the GS.  There was a Gravis ADB stick out at our UG's Hardware SIG
last Sunday.  You can configure the various buttons (five in all) to
press different keys on the keyboard, mouse actions, etc.  Obviously,
without the software, you won't be able to change the settings (and
probably can't even use it with an init).
